What is the difference between prefinished and unfinished wood flooring?

Prefinished floors can be either engineered or solid. They are sanded and the finished applied in the factory under controlled, dust free conditions. This avoids the mess, time to cure and jobsite delays that can occur with on-site sand and finish requirements of unfinished flooring.

Are wormholes, mineral streaks and knots consider defects?

No. These are natural occurrence in wood and can be desirable depending on the design effect you’re looking for. Depending on the floor they tend create a look that is more casual or rustic looking but this doesn’t mean that’s what your décor needs to be, these can be desirable characteristics to provide warmth to a modern contemporary décor.

What is the best relative humidity and temperature to keep in my home?

Wood flooring performs best when the interior environment is controlled to stay within a relative humidity of 35 to 50 percent and 18 to 24 degrees Celsius, which is about the same comfort level that most people prefer.

Will my flooring change colour?
Yes, all floors experience some colour change over time. This varies depending on the species and the amount of light the floor is exposed to. To avoid noticeable patches move furniture and area rugs periodically and over time the floor will reach the same patina.
